The black and white above and the colour below will be turned into a double sided play mat for my brand new grandchild due on the 3rd of January :-)

This is my Kambrachallenge for 2012... the Challenge was to make something that you've always wanted to make but had never got around to.
I've always wanted to make a Penny Rug but a quilt not a rug, so I made this with woolen fabrics and some plain cotton... it's my 'Pennie Rug' and I will never do it again, too fiddly and I found it hard sewing the cotton fabrics with the woolen fabrics, too much movement. But I love it and so do many of my family who all covert it.... It's mine, mine, MINE! :-)

Look at these very funky Mario Bros blocks, Glynis has made two of each and there are more blocks to come... I hope she brings them along next month.

Pennie trying to help Claire show her Circle Quilt... it's an amazing quilt with an amazing method of making up but by the end of the day my head was in a mess so I can't for the life of me remember anything :-)

Just look at this stunner from Marianne... she was going to make this quilt using reproduction fabrics but she thought is just wasn't working so switched to these fabrics... Wow!
